@@olanrewajuadagba955 look into Sam. He has changed his religion and relationship with Christ way too many times. He shouldn’t be leading anyone. He is now a Roman Catholic. Strange man. I think he has become too full of himself and thus blinded.
Calvinist to free will and to catholic, don't know tomorrow
@@JC_SGD the first sign of a believer is child like rest/faith. I find it hard to believe the Spirit would lead any man into anything other than mercy and truth and grace(Jesus). It’s all harlotry. Robes and priests and Mary and anything besides Christ in us and the way Paul/Jesus said to run things Is the whore. She doesn’t keep mercy and truth and has no grace(power of God to do his will/love). But wipes her mouth and says I have done no wrong.
Proverbs warns about the whore churches a lot. “The whore church cannot say gold and silver I have none for she is rich beyond rich. But neither can they say get up and walk” money with no power.
God forbid a man be willing to change. @@Rileyed
@@Rileyed I have looked into Sam for many hours and I find his knowledge and insightfulness into religious texts full of wisdom and understanding. He may be a Roman Catholic and changed his following a lot but that is his journey. You can take inspiration from someone else's Journey, but why would your judgement of their Journey apply to your belief and your own Journey so heavily? You place too much of a task and weight on this one man and forget he is fallible like the rest of us; doesn't mean he doesn't have some knowledge or understanding of the truth that no one else has and you can learn! Everyone is blind to a certain extent and I would argue he is not leading people he is speaking to them and sharing his insight and understanding relative to the text. Instead, place it in Jesus for that is what his purpose was. Think for yourself and speak for yourself and your own interpretation of belief instead of someone's else's; just to attempt to prove or say they are false...
Does this teacher have amazing memory abilities? I'm blown away the recall of these many scriptures. I pray myself for this righteous gift.
This is the BEST format for Sam ever!!! We need a Sam Bible Study!!! LETS GOOOOOOOO!!
Sam has been instrumental in my walk with Christ. After being born again, most questions i have he has answered. I love when he gets into Apologetics and the fire he lights in my spirit... may God bless him more than he has already. 🙏
Same but I give the lord all the glory
A man with a human brain can't remember all Sam Shamoun remembers (all scripture without reading and very very fast(. This is not possible ........ JUST enlighted by God somebody can do what he does. Otherwise not. Be blessed Sam Shamoun and God to give you more and more ¬power - to help the people around you
JEEZE ... THE MEMORY OF SAM IS SO IMPRESSIVE. Pentium chip 😊
The Holy Spirit is beyond quantum computing!!
@@nameunavailable1330true
It's called grace of God.
Thank you lord Jesus, for pouring out your knowledge and wisdom in this last days, God bless you and guide you always, Hossana, Hossana, Hossana to the Highest!!!
I like the way Sam explain the scripture with clarity and simplicity
And zero charity?
@@SugoiEnglish1 Good observation.
I have debated on this topic for more than 15 yrs. I went to a Christian college and predestination was THE theological view. I wrote several thesis on this matter. One of my simple arguments has been, is, and will be the fact that in the Bible, the word IF is over 1600 times (Obviously not all are used by God) yet, if we are pre destined and I do not have a say, the word IF should not be used by Gods PERIOD. If we are predestined, God cannot say "If you obey", "If you love me", "if you follow by decrees and commands". If is a CHOICE. I have the choice of doing or not doing something.
Yeah it’s basically if we always come to Christ for life and abide in Him(mercy and love) we will be made to be like Him; faith to faith; grace to grace.
How can a soil turn into good soil? When sinners are being saved? The soil is already good when the seed/word landed.
@ryandionisio4137
Your analogy fails because human hearts are not soil, they are hearts and bad ones can and do turn into good ones.
@@chrisneeds6125 soil? What you are not understanding is that when something is IRRESISTIBLE, when something is PREDETERMINED there is no CHOICE. It does not matter if it seems as "an act of benevolence" (turning what is bad to good) which REGARDLESS, that change from a bad heart to a good heart has NOTHING to do with you. That bad heart cannot resist turning into a good heart therefore the use of terms that imply an option, a possibility, should not exist. Under predestination the only terms that fit are "this is what is going to happen", "this is what will happen" "you will obey" or "you will not". Basically there is no struggle. There is no battle. I am exactly what in his sovereignty he wants me to be. I believe as much as he wants me to. I pray for as long as he wants me to. I minister as he programmed me to. I sin as he directs me to, I harm and destroy because he commanded me to. There is NOTHING that I can do that is not by his design. He hates and loves without cause and effect. I cannot serve a God under those terms, that is EVIL.
@@chrisneeds6125 as Paul claims in Romans 8. For those he FOREKNEW, he PREDESTINED to be CONFORMED to the image of JESUS. the key is not that WE are predestined, the key to that verse is that the PATH, the PLAN, the way (through and by Jesus, to become like Jesus) to be transformed has been set. Meaning, the plan of salvation. Even more than that, it begins with FOREKNOWLEDGE. As in the case of Esau. He was rejected/hated by God before his birth (as God proclaimed) because he KNEW that Esau was going to reject God and would never truly care about his birth rights (which were a command instituted by God and were very important). Foreknowledge and predestination are 2 different things. I can already know what u will do but I am.not direction it, I'm not the one making u. Actually, go to Genesis 4. God reasons with Cain (under predestination and our inability to choose) and tells him, "hey, if you did this the right way, wouldn't I accept it"? And then tells him that sin is near him, tempting him but that he can resist it. Under the notion of everything being pre ordained, how does that make sense??? See, he is not telling Cain, u have a bad heart and u will do what u were meant to do. He tells him U KNOW what is right and if you did it I would accept you. Evil is around you but you CAN resist it. Those are all OPTIONS, CHOICE. Calvinism is just a philosophical interpretation and it doesn't fit scripture. It only fits if forced arbitrarily.
I am an orthodox Christian I would say the knowledge you have is spectacular. God bless you and protect you I always watch your videos with foul attention. Sorry for my English but I am Greek. Να είσαι πάντα ευλογημένος από τον Κύριο μας αμήν
I believe you are a truly devoted Christian in your heart and soul and the Lord has blessed you with wisdom. I can only pray that you and your family stay safe and protected from the evil one we all have family issues. Some good some bad but know there is somebody out here who in his heart feels very much the same as you and praying for you and your family. God bless you.🙏
"You don't derive your doctrines by looking at the exceptions; you look at the norm."
Thank you, Sam.
Wow hallelujah my lord these are some massive revelations for us Yong people.Sam my brother thank you
Sam is awesome
God has, no doubt, allowed me to come across your site, which has helped to understand these controversial questions I had for years. Thank you!
Sam, thank you for your passion for the Lord. Thank you Father, Son, Holy Spirit for bringing Sam into our social media to cleanse us from sins and convict us for our wrong doings. Thank you God for not giving up on us even though we are sinners. Praise and glory to you our Lord Jesus for dying for us, sinners, your slaves. 🙏🏻😔
Jesus cleansed you from your sins the moment you believed in Him as your Savior. Conviction of your lost and depraved state comes from the Holy Spirit at work in your life in response to God’s calling. You made it sound as if Sam was doing this through social media! I doubt you intended to say that, but it needed clarification in case an unbeliever read what you said.
Sam cleanse nothing just give glory to the Holy Spirit for using him as a vessel
Excellent clip, keep it up, God bless 🙏
I love Sam’s humor, I can listen to him all day.he has photographic memory ❤
A truly amazing must watch video. Thank you Sam. Looking forward to meeting you in heaven soon. Praise God, all glory to Him who rules on high.
So many questions can be answered correctly if one knows the character of God as well as the word. Often times the character of God can reveal what the word doesn't say explicitly.
Sam is incredible at explaining the scriptures ❤
@ Sam Shamoun, I look forward seeing your Bible commentary. I will buy it
It matters what YOU DO and where YOU are in relationship with God. GOD HAS IT FOR YOU, it’s just a matter of your submission and obedience for you.
My theory is that God is the Shepherd and a Shepherd knows where his flock is going but sometimes we act on our own, and He comes and leads us back to His will. I can make it make sense in my head.
God bless you 🙏
Sam God Bless you. I do hope this reaches you, thank you for the wisdom that you are passing on. This inspires me to want to know the word better, so I can 1 be a better servant onto God but also to help my brothers and sisters in this wall, and to talk with others about the word and give deep teachings such as you are doing if it be Gods will for me life. God Bless you and thank you for taking out the time to do this. I pray the Lord blesses you abundantly for what you do.
Bro... you made me tear cause I hear me in this. God bless you, and may the most grant you everything you seek within his will. 🙏🏾
please let this video go viral for the sake of humanity! thats not an overstatement..
JOHN 3:16-For God so Loved the Whole World 🌎 that HE Gave HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM, SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT ALL WOULD HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE
LOVE ❤️ YOU-Y'ALL
Free will and predestination will always be a deep topic because we all can not decide in the place of God. It is rather difficult to think about how an omniscient God acts and makes decisions. If we go extreme on any sides there are always scriptures that seem to negate the others.
This was amazing to watch and learn x Sam you do great works keep it up 🙏 ✝️ much love and admiration from the 🇬🇧 ❤
great video here bro you inplode my faith exponantialy being new and just started reading bibal few months a go was a bit hard to read not understanding thanks for this one
The desire is to Save everyone from going to HELL
GOD Bless you brother. A soldier of our Lord Jesus Christ
😊I love this message
Can someone answer if God didn't know the future because it doesn't exist then how are the end times in Revelations revealed?
I love Sam Shamoun. A great teacher. I messed up in one of his online chats a while back and got blocked. Now I realise the most Important thing. Just listen. Listen to The Word of God. Thank you for teaching me that Sam. Amen
This is LITTERALY the biggest question i REALLY struggle with as a believer.
38:12 Sam is a true strong Christian. He just gain so much more respect from me by what he says here.
NIV Not Inspired Version haha thats legendary 😂😂😂😂
That translation watered down passages so much "to make it easier for people to understand" that meanings were changed in passages. You have to do your own comparison to find out. But even the removal of certain words takes away from the message that was meant to be in the passage.
KJV, NKJV and NASB are still the best.
Textus Receptus
@@luvpamelanewtonreally the NKJV? The NKJV says that Jesus fell from heaven and not Lucifer.
Shining morning star,[a]
how you have fallen from the heavens!
You destroyer of nations,
you have been cut down to the ground.
Kjv
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations
@@noles9998 the morning star is a name for Lucifer, the same as Pharaohs believed themselves to be a god and referred to themselves as the morning and evening star. A false God
I was nervous clicking this video, but when you started with 1 Timothy 2:4 I praised God outloud!
I'm so glad I've found your channel, I've tried to explain this to many people.
In love he predestined us, because in his foreknowledge he sees all of our choices beforehand.
Some will choose to love him others will reject him, he is sovereign and knows not just what will happen but what will happen under any and all circumstances.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 ESV
[3] This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, [4] who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
2 Peter 3:9 ESV
[9] The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
Sam is justttt Amazing i am thankful to God for such group of people who have the clarify intelligence revelations, this is simply being led by Holy spirit, he has magnificent knowledge and the debates the way he does theres amazing clarity in his explanation
Great analysis & interpretation...
Thank GOD! Someone who agrees baptism in water is important!
@@ernie-rz9iv No, absolutely not! Water baptism was a requirement of the Kingdom gospel that was preached by Jesus to the Jews during His earthly ministry. Jesus clearly states that He was sent by the Father to the lost sheep of the House of Israel - NOT Gentiles. When Jesus was on Earth, the Old Testament law was still in effect.
Ever since the conversion of Saul in Acts 9 when the resurrected Lord Jesus appeared to him on the road to Damascus, the gospel of grace (not of works) is what saves us today, not the Kingdom gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). We are saved by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).
@@ernie-rz9ivDo you know what it means to be baptized? I will never forget mine. When you go down you die to your flesh, when you come up you come up new, washed clean. It is symbolic of the death and resurrection to life. They did it in the scriptures. Why not do it?
Bless you brother!!
This is why i follow sham even though he threw insults here and there because he admitted it that he in fact has an issue with his temper.You can see it in this session.I like how how i am becoming attentive to everythinhg he say.His temper is his cross.Let us pray for Sham.
For me their is two agent of being born again.
1. Water. It means the word of God. 1Pet. 1:23; Jam.1:18
2. Spirit . Vs. 6-8 Jesus was explaining to Necodimus on how be born again. He used the Nature and the Scripture as his illustration Vs. 8- 14.
I agree with what he said.
Love the energy he got.
He is passionate about teaching.
“I didn’t write Colossians” thank you, sam
Wow, Sam brought up scripture that I have never seen it in this light
Thanks!
Thanks Joseph!
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Some folks have predestined themselves by their Choice-actually all!
❤Thank you Jesus for Sam who explains everything So Easily & I Love how so spike of protecting the Flock from the Wolf ❤❤ BEAUTIFULY PUT 😊 amen
Please work your way from NIV-Wow🎉🎉🎉
Jesus knew that Peter would deny him. He knew what Philip said under the fig tree. But, we still have free will, from our ignorance of future & that's what we will be judged on. If predestination means we couldn't do something, the new cliché would be God made me do it, not the devil.
Jesus You who follow ME came for Salvation not Destruction even Judas
We ❤Love You-Y'ALL
God always make it known to those diligently seek Him, or love Him. He reveals.
This guy is a wolf in sheep's clothes, he is very devious in bringing brothers and sisters saved by grace through faith back to the law. He may no longer be a Calvinist, but surely he didn't forget to back load works as a condition for salvation or it's proof, calling willy nilly Christians who rely on the work of Christ solely "false Christians". He is more dangerous than the Muslims he so vehemently opposes in his debates.
Can you explain this a little more in detail?🇦🇺
Proof please. Because he says multiple times, you must believe to be saved. That is all.
We are saved by grace but the law was never kept why we needed Jesus. The law is still a Guide. If we believe ,we love, we surrender. In surrender is obedience....obedience to what....?
The devil is a believer so am I. I love my Father, faith without works is dead. I have faith, love is a verb. So with that. Are you a Christian who walks in love? Do you obey the law of Christ?
Read the word for yourself and ask for guidance. Salvation does require something. Belief, is that not a work.?
Take what what is Gods to God and what is Sam’s to Sam it’s not hard but don’t be evil
I've heard christian men say he struggles knowing if he is saved or not and this is the source of his pain/fear. Calvinism can drive you mad. I'm glad he ditched it. But it seems he is going from one frying pan to another(Catholicism).
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Jehovah: We have blessed you out of the house of Jehovah.
I would say that because of “whosoever call upon the name of the lord shall be saved” I don’t think Baptism is required for SALVATION but it is a command for Christians to do so I think you nailed it on the head, Sam
God's Heart🎉🎉
No, I am not doubting the divinity of Jesus. I am simply suggesting that when I proselytize, I only state to others who the Bible states Jesus is.
Sam your the man, the studying you must of done😮❤
I really like this guy
IMO The Paradox between Predestinations and Freewill comes down to one word --> "Decision".
Dear Brother Sam, - I want to Thank you for your Ministry. It's very beautiful how you are used by the Lord. Don't ever stop allowing the Lord to you you as a vessel of Honor before the Lord God almighty. I love how through God's word you show The Trinity, 3 persons one true God and how you prove that Jesus is God. I wanted to share with you where Satan was Tempting Jesus and tgen Jesus spoke back to Satan and said you cannot tempt the Lord your God, so Jesus spoke and said you cannot tempt me. I am the Lord who is the Lord? - Jesus is the Lord. Then he continued to say the Lord your God. Jesus said to Satan I am Jesus the Lord and I am your God, so Jesus spoke saying he is God. Also in the book of Psalm 94 verse 22 - It says But the Lord is my defense and my God. The word is marvelous revealing Jesus as God throughout the total Bible. Amen. We will be praying for you and your Ministry, so that you will continue being used by the Lord, so thousands may come to Salvation through Jesus Christ. - May the Lord bless you and keep you under his grace. God bless you Brother Sam. - Your brother in the Lord. - Frank
❤ AMAZING SAM.....STILL WISH YOUR KNOWLEDGE HADN'T LED YOU TO the CATHOLIC CHURCH.......Wish you just stayed a Christian a follower of JESUS CHRIST WITHOUT ALL THE IDOLS WORSHIP OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH..
SORRY, MY OWN VAIN MIND...
GOD BLESS YOU..
Phew,title had me genuinely worried!
1 Timothy 2:3-4, John 3:16 and 2 Peter 3:9 = case closed. God's intentions and plan is clear, He died for the salvation of all who accept His free gift of that salvation
If it is God's will that He be with His Son for eternity, then it is already accomplished. God's will does not wait on time, which does not exist in eternity where God Is.
Regarding John 3:5, it is clear that Jesus is rebuking Nicodemus for not understanding, despite his respected position as "Israel's teacher." This suggests the importance of referring to the Old Testament, such as Ezekiel 36:25-27, to understand Jesus' intentions, which appear to be unrelated to water baptism.
@@raffi3dm402 Falsehood of Gap theory from pulpits & podiums
Like many theories that emanated from some theological seminaries about big bang, billions of years, evolution, globe earth etc gap theory is yet another attempt to cast doubt on the Creation narrative of the Word of God.
Prologue :
Genesis 1:1 > In "the Beginning" God created the Heaven and the Earth.
Epilogue:
Genesis 1:2 > [End] And the Earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Logically, HE could reveal the End in Genesis 1:2 only after revealing the Beginning in Genesis 1:1.
Genesis 1:1 & Genesis 1:2 are just book ends of History (HisStory). Else God lied when HE stated in Isaiah 46:9-10 > ... I am God, and there is none like me, "Declaring the End from the Beginning", and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all MY pleasure:
How come preachers ignore the fact that Heaven (singular) too was created on the first day and only the earth becomes void and without form at the end of time (before eternity to come). In the Book of Job [the timing of the gathering Job 14:12-14 > So "man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more", they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, "till my change come"], it is made clear that earth, heavens (first and second) pass away ; third Heaven is intact and there is no separation between Heaven and New Earth in eternity to come, when God dwells with Believers on the New Earth - that's why Jacob's dream has angels descending and ascending etc .
Genesis 28:21 > And he (Jacob) dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the Earth, and the top of it reached to Heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Note - Only angels (not believers in eternity to come) descending and ascending, because the Heaven is the Lord's.
Psalm 115:16 > The Heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the Earth hath HE given to the children of men.
Man has itching hears and like to run with fables etc in the age of misinformation and disinformation.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 > For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables
A certain number of the angels that followed Lucifer, and the created gods (referred to in Psalm 82: 1-7) had physical union with the daughters of men after they left their first habitation (in Heaven around the throne of God). This has happened both before and after the universal flood in the days of Noah.
Jude 1:6 > And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, HE hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Revelation 12: 3-4 > And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great "red dragon" [Satan nee Lucifer], having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars [angels] of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:
There is this strange teaching among many preachers that "there was rebellion in Heaven" then leading to false theories like Gap theory. The rebellion was infact on Earth when Lucifer said in his heart that he would ascend in to Heaven and exalt his throne above the stars [in the firmament] of God] ... and be like the Most High.
Why would Lucifer want to ascend into Heaven if he was already there when he said those things in his heart ? Because, he was on Earth when those thoughts arose in his heart.
Besides, this present earth is referred to as the First Earth in Revelation 21:1 ; thus there could not be any earth before the First Earth, that could become void and without form.
Revelation 21:1 > And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:. and the "First Earth" were passed away;
Deuteronomy 32:8-9 > When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when HE separated the sons of Adam, HE set the bounds of the people according to the number of the Heavenly assembly [per Dead Sea scrolls]. For the Lord's portion is HIS people; Jacob (Israel) is the lot of HIS inheritance.
Psalm 82:1-7 > God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; HE judgeth among the gods... I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men,...
Thus, the gods were assigned to the nations while God's inheritance was Israel. Archangels Michael and Gabriel are atleast two of the angels that deal with Israel and are for the Jews.
The angels that remained faithful to God [unlike those mentioned in Jude 1:6] are also referred to as "saints" who came down with the Lord on mount Paran to give the law to the children of Israel.
Read Deuteronomy 33:1-2 > And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. And he (Moses) said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them (children of Israel); HE shined forth from mount Paran, and HE came with ten thousands of "saints" [referring to holy angels] : from HIS right hand went a fiery law for them (children of Israel).
So when the Bible mentions God's futuristic second coming with His armies in Revelation 19 at the end of the age of grace, it is referring to faithful angels [not believers among mankind] who follow Him.
Revelation 19:13-16 > And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and HIs name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in Heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean ... And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
The only true timeline relevant for all believers is based on the genealogy from Adam onwards ... approx 5948 years (in 2023 AD) according to the Dead Sea Scrolls - watch Ken Johnson on RUclips - ruclips.net/user/live4hh_VTFWLEs?feature=share
God has before HE created the Heaven and the Earth, set the times for wrapping all things up. There is nothing that will alter HIS plan and purpose. For we know that all things were created for HIS pleasure.
Shalom

Seeking truth in the Word of God
This Br (Sam) should have rather referenced Ezekiel as what Jesus had in mind (as you cited) when He spoke to Nicodemus. Ezekiel passage should have been familiar to Nicodemus but he couldn't see its spiritual application and was rebuked by Jesus!
Water baptism had its place prior to the pouring of the Holy Spirit. Later, Spirit baptism (not just water) is what regenerate true believers as seen clearly in the NT.
I really love hearing your views on things that the Christian church today debate over. Have you done something similar to this on the topic of the spiritual gifts? Thanks
He did. And he said God’s gifts are not for everyone.
It’s actually easy to know how God knows the future. The Bible tells us -
Isaiah 46: 10 I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come.
I say, ‘My purpose will stand,
and I will do all that I please.’

2 Timothy 4:3-4 > For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables
A certain number of the angels that followed Lucifer, and the created gods (referred to in Psalm 82: 1-7) had physical union with the daughters of men after they left their first habitation (in Heaven around the throne of God). This has happened both before and after the universal flood in the days of Noah.
Jude 1:6 > And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, HE hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Revelation 12: 3-4 > And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great "red dragon" [Satan nee Lucifer], having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars [angels] of heaven, and did cast them to the earth:
There is this strange teaching among many preachers that "there was rebellion in Heaven" then leading to false theories like Gap theory. The rebellion was infact on Earth when Lucifer said in his heart that he would ascend in to Heaven and exalt his throne above the stars [in the firmament] of God] ... and be like the Most High.
Why would Lucifer want to ascend into Heaven if he was already there when he said those things in his heart ? Because, he was on Earth when those thoughts arose in his heart.
Besides, this present earth is referred to as the First Earth in Revelation 21:1 ; thus there could not be any earth before the First Earth, that could become void and without form.
Revelation 21:1 > And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:. and the "First Earth" were passed away;
Deuteronomy 32:8-9 > When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when HE separated the sons of Adam, HE set the bounds of the people according to the number of the Heavenly assembly [per Dead Sea scrolls]. For the Lord's portion is HIS people; Jacob (Israel) is the lot of HIS inheritance.
Psalm 82:1-7 > God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; HE judgeth among the gods... I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. But ye shall die like men,...
Thus, the gods were assigned to the nations while God's inheritance was Israel. Archangels Michael and Gabriel are atleast two of the angels that deal with Israel and are for the Jews.
The angels that remained faithful to God [unlike those mentioned in Jude 1:6] are also referred to as "saints" who came down with the Lord on mount Paran to give the law to the children of Israel.
Read Deuteronomy 33:1-2 > And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. And he (Moses) said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them (children of Israel); HE shined forth from mount Paran, and HE came with ten thousands of "saints" [referring to holy angels] : from HIS right hand went a fiery law for them (children of Israel).
So when the Bible mentions God's futuristic second coming with His armies in Revelation 19 at the end of the age of grace, it is referring to faithful angels [not believers among mankind] who follow Him.
Revelation 19:13-16 > And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and HIs name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in Heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean ... And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.
The only true timeline relevant for all believers is based on the genealogy from Adam onwards ... approx 5948 years (in 2023 AD) according to the Dead Sea Scrolls - watch Ken Johnson on RUclips - ruclips.net/user/live4hh_VTFWLEs?feature=share
God has before HE created the Heaven and the Earth, set the times for wrapping all things up. There is nothing that will alter HIS plan and purpose. For we know that all things were created for HIS pleasure.
Shalom

Seeking truth in the Word of God
Please forgive me lord is I am over simplifying. The thought that comes to me is that we cannot limit God, but God has given us all a chance to not limit ourselves. God knew Judas and Judas still had a choice. 1:01:18
Some are made as vessels unto destruction and some are made as vessels unto Glory. Amen!
Pharo was made as a vessel unto destruction.
Did you mean some are made to go to hell and some to heaven??
I struggled with this question for years. Without knowing what Sam will say here, I've arrived at a conclusion and it's this.
God truly wants all of us to be saved but he will also respect the free will He gave us at the same time.
So He gives us every opportunity to choose Him, to return the great love He has by obeying Him and worship Him alone.
God is also not bound by time and space so even before Creation, he can see from beginning till the end, including all our choices to His opportunities.
He thus knows who will be saved and who will not and those who will not make it will have their choices to blame, not God.
After all, haven't we all been reminded and warned often enough? Every generation comes with prophets and evangelists. The Holy Mother herself has appeared many times to warn and lead us back to her Son. Yet many stubbornly disbelieve.
Eternity is at stake, make no mistake. Repent now and turn back to God while you can!
53:58 Wow, he defines free will as "the freedom to act consistently with your nature." That is a huge interpretation of free will. That admits that you do not have the freedom to act inconsistently with your nature, which means your nature causes your actions. I think the overwhelming majority of people believe free will is actually free and would reject the idea that it counts as free will if your nature causes your will. It is quite literally not free at that point. It surprises me to hear Sam say this because that is exactly what I believe as well, that the freest free will can get is "the freedom to act consistently with your nature." But I've always thought of that as "definitely not free will" since it's not free but rather it is just as subject to cause and effect as everything else in existence.
Abraham did not prove less faithful than Sarah. I'm so disappointed with so many apologetics who hold the biblical fathers as sinners. The sins you see, are not how you judge them. Nobody is more faithful than the prophets.
Camera cuts off, Alright get the stones lololol JK love you Sam, please pray for his daughters and his safety, pray for all of us, God bless these brothers that work the good fight. in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit amen
So Sam is now teaching baptismal regeneration. To simply brush aside the thief on the cross is actually reading your theology into the text which you claim you are not doing. I believe your leaning towards the Catholic Church
He is. Recently he was teaching Mary was made sinless while she walked on the earth. He is going whole hog into Catholic teaching,(which is his right). What is bothersome to me is the way he attacks fellow christians who disagree with him.
Sam, you amazing me a free thinker.👍🏻
According to Emanuel Swedenborg who met Calvin in the spiritual world.. Calvin rejected the Bible in favor of his own twisted doctrine.. Calvin is in Hell.. Read Swedenborg's book The True Christian Religion no 796.. Luther on the other hand is in Heaven coz he repented of his Faith Alone doctrine...
Baptism is a public display of repentance, dying to self and proclaiming our belief in Jesus Christ.
The thief made a public display of his belief in Jesus Christ. He admitted he had sinned but that Jesus had not.
But ultimately i like the answer he is God he can do that.
His is not bound by time, so He already knows who will accept and who will reject Jesus. God doesn’t decide, He already knows.
God hardened the heart of pharaoh because God wanted to show His Glory and Power.
If God wanted Pharaoh to worship Him why did he continually harden his heart.
God softens the heart for those who he wants to turn to him. God touched my heart with his Love that caused me to turn to Him because I was Predestined to become a follower of Christ. All the Glory goes to Christ!
Not I but Christ in me the Hope of Glory! Amen!
I prayed for you Brother Sam that you would receive the Full Love Knowledge and Wisdom in Christ! Amen! Hallelujah! Amen!
Regardless if some are Predestined or some are not we should still continue to pray for others because we do not know who are are who are not Predestined. Amen!
How Pleasent it is for us to Dwell as One. One Body One Spirit One Christ. Amen! Love your enemies in Christ! Amen!
Or god hardened the heart of the Pharoh bc he committed the one unforgivable sin.
20 minutes in and im crying
Jesus warned us many will come in his name and do not go with them. He also said Happy is the man who comes in the name of the Lord.
You all come in the name of Jesus while JWs come in the name of the Lord Jehovah.
Atonement is 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 but 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. A person has to believe the Gospel to be save
Hebrews 2:9 ESV
"But we see Him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 of the suffering of 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵, so that by 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗚𝗼𝗱 He might 𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 for 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲"
Romans 3:25 ESV
[25] whom God put forward as a 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 by his blood, 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗖𝗘𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬 𝗙𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗛. . This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.
We want to know about why the book of Enoch was taken out of the Bible with the Giants
We have a choice to make maybe some haven't had a choice like the Pharaoh of Egypt and Judas but we can choose life through faith in Jesus.
26:16 Yeah of course it means baptism. When I read it for the first time that is what I took it to mean, didn't even occur to me that it could mean anything else. He's clearly explaining that it is NOT natural birth; he poses water in juxtaposition to natural birth. And like you said it's in the baptism portion of the story.
hi Sam. I listen to you a lot. My Question is, if Judas did not betray Christ, how would that change the Fathers will for Christ to die in the cross that betrayal by Judas was needed so the Fathers plan can be fulfilled in Christ.
The root of ALL THESE for me is....
2Ti 3:16-17 KJV 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Yes He has. But the way it works is God passes over one and chooses others.
I think the important thing is to obey God and his laws, accept Jesus as your savior and seek the kingdom of heaven. There are so many interpretations and as you said, we'd never be able to reconcile. Maybe it's not for us to reconcile but instead it's our job as Christians to live by his name and not worry about such questions. I too am struggling with my Calvinist faith.
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you his truth not man. I use 3 layers to process anything said about scripture. I hear then use common sense in case it's crazy teaching then process and ask God what to get from it. Sometimes it's nothing.
@iNeverSimp no worries... just follow Christ Jesus.
We all have free wiil...BUT if u are predestinated...his will for your life WILL come to pass....jonah had free wil n REFUSE to go preach to the people d Lord wanted him to...n inside of jonah free will...God will still came to fruition...so we wil hav our little free will for a moment but if u are predestinated son/daughter u WILL find your way back to God...even if its on your last dying breath....
Thief on cross is the norm. Right in line with the "works" of Abraham, king David, Solomon, even nebudkunezzar. Right in line with belief as in john 3 16
All things Heaven and Earth does not imply all things, rather it is an exaggerated statement to convey mission accomplished. The Thrones and Principalities are earthly kings and earthly authorities who hold power on earth, which is linked to Heaven and Earth, meaning our realm. The context of salvation is not universalism, but to subjects of the Cross as follows, "now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence". So this rules out the heavenly host, that is angels and any notion of saving those by any other means outside of the Cross or Christ
Prov.16:4 ,So yes.
Yes sam, God unconditionally chose who They wanted to have a relationship with to the point that only those who Father chose(not us choosing them of ourselves) and gave to the Son are set apart in the womb by the Spirit in order
to come to conscious Faith by
Gods working. Are those who will be saved and interceded for. If Yeshua does not raise to glory of whom was given to Him by Father to taste death for. He will have failed and sinned against Father.
So sam, God predestined by Their unconditional choice in advance, vessels of Their Mercy to know the riches of Their Glory. And will be raised unto the glory of Yeshua's humanity. While others beforehand will not be spared from Gods unforgivness.
Point being: As of 2012, there isn't reincarnation to feed our souls energy to demonic ventures over and over again. There isn't a hell like religions try to scare us. No matter how smart you are, you can't skip grades. You have to go through the pain and fire of this reality to learn from these Earthly experiences. This is a journey, not a destination. We are special all of us no matter what skin color we are. We are all the same consciousness of God living through us. Peace be with you and above all else learn to smile and accept, for free will is a gift.
Predestination is not biblical. The very heart of God, in the very center of Gods heart we find mercy. Holy of holiest - there is mercy seat. God wants that everybody got saved. That’s he’s will and that’s why He gave His only begotten Son
Does God hate you every day?
Judas serves as an illustration that predestination and human responsibility go hand in hand. Judas's destiny was set before his betrayal. Jesus said that he kept all his disciples from apostasy except Judas, “the son of destruction” (John 17:12). In John 6:64, it says, “Jesus knew from the
